Objective: To describe the treatment outcomes of placental abruption at Thai Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital during the period 2019–2023.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on 112 pregnant women diagnosed with placental abruption and managed at Thai Binh Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. The variables assessed included clinical classification, management methods, and maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Results: The incidence of placental abruption accounted for 0.1% of total deliveries. The cesarean section rate was 90%, while vaginal delivery accounted for 10%. The rate of coagulopathy was 8.9%, and hysterectomy was performed in 1.8% of cases; no maternal deaths were recorded. Regarding neonatal outcomes, 72.3% were normal, 17.0% experienced birth asphyxia, 8.0% were stillbirths, and 2.7% resulted in neonatal death. The mean length of hospital stay was 6.96 ± 4.85 days.
Conclusions: Placental abruption is a severe obstetric emergency. Although the maternal mortality rate was low at the hospital, neonatal outcomes remain a significant challenge.
